Sunday, April 10, 2016

New music from Paul, Carlos, Sarah & more

It's a busy time for new releases, and we've added several tunes to the New Releases portion of our big mix.

One of our all-time favorite artists, Paul Simon, teased his upcoming album Stranger to Stranger by releasing an amusing little number called "Wristband."

Another veteran musician, the amazingly prolific Carlos Santana,has reunited his original band for an album called simply Santana IV. Of the tracks released so far, our pick is "Leave Me Alone."

We're eagerly awaiting the next album by Sarah Jarosz,Undercurrent. The first track to be unveiled is the slow and smoky "House of Mercy."

You've heard us play early tracks from Only You Remain, the debut album from Baltimore-based The Great American Canyon Band. The official release was last week, and we've added the the title track to our rotation.

Likewise, Frightened Rabbit just released Painting of a Panic Attack. Our favorite track is still the single "Get Out," but we've also added "Lump Street" to our New Releases bin.

And we're spinning the single "Shine" from Ben Harper's latest, Call It What It Is.

We've also picked up on some new (or at least, new-to-us) indie music - more on that soon!
